What Is Meltan (Japanese) Worth?

Meltan (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SV5M: Cyber Judge set, card number 081/071. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.

Meltan (Japanese) Value Breakdown

As of 2026, Meltan (Japanese) (SV5M: Cyber Judge, 081/071) is worth around $1.94 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.94, while a Moderately Played one drops to roughly $1.45. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.94, Lightly Played $1.54, Moderately Played $1.45 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $19.99 — about 10x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $15.40.

Is It Worth Grading Meltan (Japanese)?

Grading Meltan (Japanese) can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.94) and a PSA 10 ($19.99) is about $18.05 — a 10x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $15.40, CGC 10 $20.00, CGC 9.5 $11.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
